CYBERPUNK.....

The first time i ever heard about the word cyberpunk was in class last week and although we had an assignment on finding out the meaning of this word i was also very curious to find out. So here is what i found out.....:



DEFINITION OF CYBERPUNK 1: Cyberpunk is about expressing the negative intentions and ideas of humans, technology and their respective combination in the near future.





DEFINITION OFCYBERPUNK 2 : a writer of science fiction set in a lawless subculture of an oppressive society dominated by computer technology



In 1980 , Bruce Bethke wrote a little story about a bunch of teenage hackers and gave it the name CYBERPUNK. he got the name from the word CYBERNETICS;the science of replacing human functions with computerized ones, and PUNK; the cacophonous music and nihilistic sensibility that developed in the youth culture during the 1970s and '80s.



Before cyberpunk became established as a genre, it existed as "The Movement", a literary community of young writers disappointed with the state of the mainstream science fiction. The writers, most notably Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker and John Shirley exchanged ideas, short stories and articles through a newsletter called Cheap Truth edited by Sterling who remains the leading theorist and advocator of the genre.







*Here is the novel that started it all, launching the cyberpunk generation, and the first novel to win the holy trinity of science fiction: the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award and the Philip K. Dick Award. With Neuromancer, William Gibson introduced the world to cyberspace--and science fiction has never been the same.
